Visited the battlefield with my dad in 1958, it was still dirt and dead trees with barbed wire strewn about. We dug in the dirt finding bullets and ended up getting slightly gassed from ruminant chemicals in the dirt...never forget my eyes burning and tearing.

Mustard in its various forms is a highly persistent agent and for that reason was universally disliked by all militaries after WW 1. It was , however, the most effective agent for some 25 more years which is why the Italians used it in Ethiopia, the Spanish and French in the final campaigns of the Riff War and the Japanese apparently against China and the Soviets against Central Asian rebels in the 1920s.
